Burwarton Show
Thursday 5 August 2027
The Showground, Cleobury North, Shropshire(WV16 6RP)
Burwarton Show's story starts in 1891, when a local farmers' club held its first show in a field outside Burwarton; by 1901 it had moved to a showground in Cleobury North, Shropshire, and the first Thursday in August has been its day ever since. This one-day agricultural show brings families face to face with cattle, sheep and pigs, and shearers compete in front of a keen audience. Show jumpers and dressage riders compete alongside the heavy horses, and there is a big gathering of old tractors and farm machines, a Food Village of local producers and a craft market where makers work at their stalls. Late in the day, runners set off on a 5km or 10km trail over parkland and farmland, crossing a brook twice, with views to the Brown Clee. Parking is free.
